Todd, Funny you should ask. I just found the same flippin' thing in my AD at work. Brought it to my boss' attention (he's my best friend and my ex-subordinate from the consulting company we used to be at - it's a weird relationship.....tracks with the compnay pretty well) and he blew it off and told me that I had more important things to work on.
I have to admit, though, it pissed me off a bit. But - I'm primarily Security now and backup on AD architecture. So, if something goes horribly bad - not my problem. ;-) Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CIT) Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 12:43 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Here is one for the books.
